Appreciation


Of all there is to love in binding custom books, re-discovering great uses of language is especially dear. Thank you, Mr. Wilson, if you are reading this, for introducing me to

The tree in the twilit street-
the pods hanging from its bare symmetrical branches
motionless-
but if, like God, a century were to us
the twinkling of an eye,
we should see the frenzy of growth.

-Charles Reznikoff
